Mabel Corwin Branch
of the American Begonia Society
Started as the Palomar Branch of the American Begonia Society in Northern San Diego County the current membership encompass members from around San Diego County. On January 9, 2000 the branch was renamed the Mabel Corwin Branch after premier grower, dedicated member and a founder of the branch.
We meet at the Olivenhain Meeting Hall on the second Sunday of the month. We also meet at Kartuz Greenhouses on Mother's Day and a August Branch picnic has been hosted for many years by members Dean and Susan Turney in their lovely garden. In October, we participate in an annual Begonia Show and Sale held at the Casa del Prado in Balboa Park, San Diego. The Margaret Lee and Alfred D. Robinson Branches join and all three San Diego Branches are represented at this annual Begonia celebration. Members, Michael Kartuz and Chuck Ades put in displays to show off their wares and provide plants for the sale table.
Beginning at 1:30 p.m. with a short business meeting, we then move on to show and tell, and program on begonias or other shade-loving plants, and then break for refreshments and a plant raffle table, it's an informative and fun filled afternoon.
